How best to eliminate LP warps

I own about 2500 LPs, and I like to think they're flat.  Furthermore, I espoused the view that warped LPs ought to be discarded.  But lately I have found 2 or 3 of my LPs that do have warps but sound too good and are too precious for the music recorded on them to throw away.  So I am in the market for ideas on how to remove warps.  I am aware that there was a device on the market that looked like a large waffle maker, to be used for warp removal.  I think Furutech made it, but I never see it advertised these days.  I am also aware of the DIY method of placing an LP between two glass plates and heating the ensemble.  The question there would be how hot and for how long?  Any suggestions are welcome, especially opinions on the efficacy of the Furutech.  Thanks.  Please no comments on vacuum hold down; I think it's a great idea but none of my five turntables has that feature.

Here are the general steps:

It will not totally get rid of the warp, but the severity of the warp will be greatly lessened and your LP will play with no discernable · Hey Lew, This thing really works.

 

  1. Get two large panes of glass that will fit in your oven.
  2. Preheat the oven to its lowest temperature setting.
  3. Put your vinyl & glass sandwich in the oven for 30 minutes.
  4. Turn the heat off.
  5. Let the record cool down to room temperature.
  6. Determine whether or not that fixed the warping.
